The rap group's new LP will be their first in over ten years, with Jump On It! released in 1999.
The trio are currently the subject of documentary film I Want My Name Back, from Thomas Crown Affair producer Roger Paradiso.
The film centres around the group's career and subsequent legal battles to claim ownership of their material and receive royalties.
Paradiso explained that the delay of a new record was due to the lengthy court cases over the last few years.
"They're working on a new album and have been for a while," he told Allhiphop.com.
"They got so disillusioned during their first experience. If that song ['Rapper's Delight'] happened today, they'd be set for life. But they are living a very modest life."
